This is my secret to building lean muscular body around the clock.
 
I eat within an hour of waking up. This is the time that our body sets its metabolism for the day. Skimping on food in this crucial hour sets your body to starvation mode which means anything you eat afterwards will be stored as fat. And that roll around your midriff will just get bigger. Fill your plate with high quality protein, slow digesting carbohydrates and healthy fats.
I eat every three hours after breakfast. Waiting more than four hour between meals causes your blood sugar levels to drop way too low, leaving you weak, irritable and tired. To combat this, your body secrets cortisol, a hormone that boost blood – sugar levels by converting muscle protein to sugar (what exercise scientist call "muscle wasting").
I drink chocolate milk after my work. Am not a fun of chocolate but I do it anyways. Our bodies need fast digesting carbs. Workout changes our body’s priorities: as sugar is absorbed into our bloodstream, it’s shuttled to our muscles instead of being used as fuel and is stored there. This forces our body to accelerate the rate at which it burns fat for energy and the chocolate milk does the trick.

 
 I trust I have been able to answer some of your questions….feel free to ask me anything about fitness if I can’t answer that will certainly find you the answer….STAY UP AND STAY BLESSED
